(3)  Spin-off of Real Estate Business.   On December 1, 1999, the
Board of Directors approved a reorganization of the Company which
would result in spinning off to its shareholders a new company
which would include the real estate business, while retaining the
transportation business in FRP Properties, Inc.   The Company has
obtained a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service which
allows the proposed transaction to be tax-free to shareholders.
It is anticipated that the spin-off will be made effective by the
end of the calendar year.   For information concerning the
selected information concerning the real estate business, see
Note 2.

(4)  Name Change Approval.   At the annual meeting on February 2,
2000, the shareholders approved a proposal to amend Article I of
the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the
Company to Patriot Transportation Holdings, Inc.   The name
change will be effective upon filing of the amended Articles of
Incorporation with the State of Florida.

(5)  Contingent Liabilities.  The Company and its subsidiaries
are subject to legal proceedings and claims arising out of their
businesses that cover a wide range of matters.  Additional
information concerning these matters is presented in Note 11 to
the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
1999 Annual Report to stockholders.  Such information is
incorporated herein by reference.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           Operating Results


For the first quarter of fiscal 2000, ended December 31, 1999, consolidated
revenues increased 5.9% over the same period last year.  The Transportation
segment revenues for the first quarter increased 6.6% due primarily to 4.8%
increase in miles hauled and a modest increase in pricing over the same
quarter last year.  Real estate revenues increased 1.6% for the first
quarter.   The real estate revenue increase was due to increased rental
income on developed properties.  The Company did not have any timber sales
during the first quarter of fiscal 2000; however, real estate revenues last
year included $69,000 of timber sales.

Consolidated gross profit decreased $786,000 or 17.9% as compared to last
year.   Gross profit in Transportation decreased $703,000 for the first
quarter.   The decrease in gross profit for the Transportation Group was
primarily attributed to a tight labor market for drivers resulting in
increased costs to hire and retain personnel as well as rising fuel costs
and higher depreciation expense resulting from an expanded and upgraded
tractor fleet.

Gross profit in the Real Estate segment decreased $82,000 for the first
quarter.   Real estate gross profit was negatively impacted by lower
royalty receipts and the absence of timber sales on a comparative basis.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $132,000 for the
first quarter from the same period last year.   Selling, general and
administrative expense as a percent of sales was 9.7% for the first quarter
as compared to 11.0% last year.  The decrease was primarily attributable to
severance compensation accrued during the first quarter of last year
partially offset by increased administrative expenses related to formation
of an owner/operator subsidiary.

Interest expense increased $186,000 for the first quarter, due primarily to
an increase in the average debt outstanding and an increase in average
interest rate.

Tight labor conditions combined with rising fuel costs and the likelihood
of higher interest rates will increase costs for this year.    Start up
costs related to owner/operator subsidiary will adversely affect operating
profits in the short-term.

Year 2000 Conversion.    The Company completed its program to be Year 2000
compliant and encountered no significant problems.

Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition with
sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other
operating requirements.  The Company's revolving credit facility will
convert to a term loan if not modified by the end of the Company's third
quarter.   The Company is currently in process of evaluating and discussing
its long-term credit needs with its bank group and anticipates it will
complete the extension and/or modification of its credit facility during
the third fiscal quarter.

Other

During fiscal 1999, the transportation segment's ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 33% of transportation's revenue.  The loss of
any one of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's
revenue and income.

While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such
regulations are not expected to have a major effect on the Company's
capital expenditures or operating results.  Additional information
concerning environmental matters is presented in Note 11 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1999 Annual
Report to stockholders.  Such information is incorporated herein by
reference.

Forward-Looking Statements.  Certain matters discussed in this report
contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by such forward-looking statements.   These forward-looking
statements relate to, among other things, capital expenditures, liquidity,
capital resources, competition and may be indicated by words or phrases
such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plans," "projects," "continuing,"
"ongoing," "expects," "management believes," "the Company believes," "the
Company intends" and similar words or phrases.   The following factors are
among the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements: availability and terms of
financing; competition; levels of construction activity in the FRI's
markets; labor market for drivers; fuel costs; and inflation.
